Evading genre leanings and focused on obscure sound sources, fuzzy tones and drones harken back to a time when IDM planted its roots—exploring the inner workings of microscopic machine music with a pulse.
Microscopic machine music with a pulse
The Confield has been cleared as Iran’s Rhonchus (aka Shahin Souri) tills the soil with familiar abstracts. Hailing from Tehran, these Autechre-infused structures break, unfold, and migrate into delaminated electronic mayhem. Shuffled blips and bleeps shift erratically as dense rhythms and found sounds evolve on this debut for Mahorka. Five tracks shed over 17 minutes, arcane shapes are forged with industrial and technoid slivers (“تَل”) as glitchy drones disperse on “آت.” The mood changes slightly from the opening disjointed and mechanical noises of “بِر,” to the Oval-inspired digital signal processing crunch of “دآ,” as tranquilized bits and bobbles transpire on “اُ.” Evading genre leanings and focused on obscure sound sources, fuzzy tones and drones harken back to a time when IDM planted its roots—exploring the inner workings of microscopic machine music with a pulse.
بلَووِه is available on Mahorka. [Bandcamp | Release page]
